Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The new school year is always new and exciting. My class needs to have a cool, interesting, fun floor item to learn, explore, collaborate. This is why I am requesting an interactive, large rug for my kiddos.

A classroom carpet will give my students an amazing gathering area for read-aloud, group work, morning meetings, and more.

For example, learning how to sit and listen are such important skills for five-year-olds to learn in order to succeed in everyday life.

I want to light up my students' faces when they enter the class and see the colorful, educational carpet. Please help me support our future leaders!
